Kaeritakunatta Yo lyrics & Translation

Kanji

心の穴を埋めたいから　優しいフリして笑った
出会いと別れがせわしく　僕の肩を駆けていくよ

ダメな自分が悔しいほど　わかってしまうから損だ
強くはなりきれないから　ただ目をつぶって耐えてた

ほら　見えてくるよ

帰りたくなったよ　君が待つ街へ
大きく手を振ってくれたら　何度でも振り返すから
帰りたくなったよ　君が待つ家に
聞いて欲しい話があるよ　笑ってくれたら嬉しいな

たいせつなことは数えるほど　あるわけじゃないんだ　きっと
くじけてしまう日もあるけど　泣き出すことなんて　もうない

ほら　見えてくるよ

伝えたくなったよ　僕が見る明日を
大丈夫だよってそう言うから　何度でも繰り返すから
伝えたくなったよ　変わらない夢を
聞いて欲しい話があるよ　うなずいてくれたら嬉しいな

帰りたくなったよ　君が待つ街へ
かけがえのないその手に今　もう一度伝えたいから
帰りたくなったよ　君が待つ家に
聞いて欲しい話があるよ　笑ってくれたら嬉しいな

Translation

心の穴を埋めたいから　優しいフリして笑った
出会いと別れがせわしく　僕の肩を駆けて行くよ
because i wanted to bury the hole in my heart, i gave a gentle smile
the unpredictable meetings and farewells keep me going forward

ダメな自分が悔しいほど　わかってしまうから損だ
強くはなりきれないから　ただ目をつぶって耐えてた
i regret being so useless, its bad because i know it
as i can't become any stronger, i just endured on with my eyes closed

ほら　見えてくるよ
look, i can almost see it now

帰りたくなったよ　君が待つ街へ
大きく手を振ってくれたら　何度でも振り返すから
帰りたくなったよ　君が待つ家に
聞いて欲しい話があるよ　笑ってくれたら嬉しいな
i didn't want to go back to the town where you were waiting
because you waved at me with your big hand, because i just keep going back
i didn't want to go back to the house where you were waiting
there are words from you i'd like to hear, because you smiled at me i am happy

たいせつなことは数えるほど　あるわけじゃないんだ　きっと
くじけてしまう日もあるけど　泣き出すことなんて　もうない
even as i recount the important events, it doesn't mean they're still there, surely
even though there are days i feel crushed, i no longer do something like shedding tears

ほら　見えてくるよ
look, i can almost see it now

伝えたくなったよ　僕が見る明日を
大丈夫だよってそう言うから　何度でも繰り返すから
伝えたくなったよ　変わらない夢を
聞いて欲しい話があるよ　うなずいてくれたら嬉しいな
i didn't want to tell you about the tomorrow that i see
because you said it'll be okay, because you keep saying it
i didn't want to tell you about my unchanged dreams
there are words i want to hear but if you just gave a nod i would be happy

帰りたくなったよ　君が待つ街へ
かけがえのないその手に今　もう一度伝えたいから
帰りたくなったよ　君が待つ家に
聞いて欲しい話があるよ　笑ってくれたら嬉しいな
i didn't want to go back to the town where you were waiting
in your irreplaceable hands now i want to say once again
i didn't want to go back to the house where you were waiting
there are words i want to hear but if you just gave a nod i would be happy

Ikimono Gakari - Kaeritakunatta yo Translation

Sorry I forget... That Credit thanks to Blackrabbit and Flaminity

wow.. thx.. i've been looking for this lyrics.. hahahaha

thx 4 the lyrics..

thanks blackrabbit...this is my fav song ever ....if i`m not mistaken, i found this lyrics at ur site...and i do comment on it...ahaa, what a small world, now we meet here ...hahaha....neway, thanks again for the lyrics....good job bro..!!!

correction:
Kaeritakunatta yo (帰りたくなったよ) means I felt like wanting to return or literally,
I became "to want to return."

Kaeritai = to want or to intend to return or go back
natta = past tense of naru = to become, to be
"ku" = connects kaeritai to natta

Kaerita(i) + ku + natta yo = Kaeritakunatta yo = I felt like wanting to go back home.


KaeritakunaKAtta yo (帰りたくなかったよ) means I did not want to return.

Kaeritakunai - Negative form of Kaeritai
Kaeritakunakatta - past tense of Kaeritakunai

This also applies to Tsutaetakunatta yo
Tsutaeru means to convey or to tell,
so Tsutaetakunatta yo means I felt like I wanted to tell (you)

I do'n t know if it's the best song of the band, but at the monent I'm hearing this song, it becomes the best

Its my favourite balland of ikimono... and the PV is simple, bur beautiful.

I've come across another site with lyrics of this song, and it's different.

see: http://www.jpopasia.com/play/7164/ikimonogakari/kaeritaku-nattayo.html

I'm looking to subbing, and wonder why it's so different - which one is most accurate?

Thanks.

Rgds, Tak.

i didn't want to go back to the town where you were waiting
compare to this,
i want to go home now, back to the city where you wait for me (jpopasia)

it's seems both of them is so contradictive..
but i can't help which one is correct..

the second one i think is more accurate..

yeah, i didn't want to say, well i want to say, no, didn't want to make a big fuss about this...

...is it a matter of perception? or is it really wrong translation?

so, i need to get my subs right, which one should i use?

thx. tak.

sorry, my bad.

looking at this post more carefully, i see a post of correction.

i think all the "i don't"s are in fact "i do"s

right?

thx. tak.

yeah, i just read the correction.. i think there are some wrong translation..

________________
and translation from jopasia is easier to understand imo..

thx for the link.

i'll choose the which one flows better...

rgds, tak.
